Hey Guys
I need to counterbalance the head on my benchtop cnc mill setup. The head weighs about 250# and the servo struggles. On the +Z axis limit, the bottom of the head is about 17 Inches from the base. The head is 13.5" tall and has 6.5" travel to the =Z limit.
What I'm trying to learn about is gas springs. Swede, you installed one on your 5bears machine and I'm sure, researched prior to purchase. Can you (or someone) help by explaining how they work so I can size and order one from maybe mcmaster. I need to get this thing going so I can start on some of my planned projects which is to duplicate the 5 bears machine.
Thanks in advance!
